Rolls-Royce
Silver Ghost, 1907, #60551, Barker Roi de Belges. This view shows all the
details completely which are usually partly obscured or hidden by the
spare wheel.

The Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost is epitomising all that is the very best
in British engineering. Utmost attention to detail resulted in such an
outstanding quality that this motor car rightfully was stated to be "the
best car in the world". The first public display of the 40/50 hp
model as it was called then was at London's Olympia Motor in November 1906
with deliveries commencing from April 1907. It was this model on which the
company's reputation for excellence was based - not at least had added to
this record non-stop run carried out by the original R-R Silver Ghost,
chassis no. 60551, whose name became a more popular model designation than
the company's term 40/50 hp. Steady development resulted in significant
improvements in performance and handling. Production continued until 1925.

Rolls-Royce
Silver Ghost, 1915, #2BD, Hamshaws Sedanca de Ville. Perfectly well suited
as a town car was the Sedanca de Ville though "Upstairs Downstairs"
is clearly indicated by the chauffeur comforted with less protection than
the passengers.
